Florists 'bomb' Philly mailboxes for 2020 election ballots - WHYY

Germantown Avenue and Bethlehem Pike in Chestnut Hill. The arch starts at the bottom with deep copper-colored amaranth tassels, moves through a gradient of orange and dark yellow hues, and ends with a spear of bright golds and buttery yellows pointing toward the mailbox. “We have lots of dahlias. It’s prime dahlia season in October,” said Love. “They start deep and rich at the bottom of the arch, then it gets the bright happiness close to the mailbox. That’s the goal: be bright and happy at the mailbox.” Love is both a farmer and florist. She grows everything she uses on a five-acre, certified natural farm in Roxborough. The bread and butter of her business had been weddings, but that dried up this year. Last April, her prospects were dire. Over the summer she launched a flower delivery service where people can pre-order a box of flowers and have it delivered weekly to their door. Called Porch Petals, Love keeps the delivery radius tight – she only services Philadelphia’s Northwest neighborhoods near her farm. To her surprise, it worked. Porch Petals caught on and saved her business. Floral designer Diane Floss (left) and Jennie Love of Love and Fresh Flowers decorated the mailbox at Germantown Avenue and Bethlehem Pike with a rainbow of flowers for the United by Blooms event. (Emma Lee/WHYY) “Porch Petals is a COVID pivot, but it proves our community here in Chestnut Hill and Mt. Airy – they are phenomenal. I would start weeping if I think about it too much,” she said. “This community saved our farm.” Love is fortunate that she is both a grower and an arranger: she supplies herself. Other florists who rely on shipped flowers have fared much worse as international supply chains have broken down during the global pandemic. Flowers, after all, cannot sit in warehouses. United By Blooms is ostensibly a get-out-the-vote campaign addressing anxieties about voting by mail and the tenuous financial position of the Postal Service. Love says, “I don’t have answers to any of that.” More important to her is that this floral arrangement be a love letter to the community that proves, even during a pandemic, flow...

Martha's Vineyard News | Star of Bethlehem is Fleeting Floral Feast - The Vineyard Gazette - Martha's Vineyard News

Star of Bethlehem takes its name from the heavens. As the story goes, God created a star in the sky to guide the wise men to the Christ child. The star was too beautiful to banish from the universe after the child was found, so the star burst into thousands of pieces and descended to earth. These bits gave rise to the flower Ornithogalum umbellatum, commonly called star of Bethlehem. That is not this plant's only religious affiliation. In 2 Kings 6:25, mention is made of "dove's dung," a plant believed to be star of Bethlehem that was valued as food during the great famine in Samaria and during later pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Some further explanation of these stories would be helpful, not only for the choice of a plant with that name as food, but its effectiveness as food at all. Star of Bethlehem is known to be toxic to livestock and pets, and is questionable as a human foodstuff despite these historic references. Though some sources cite the bulb as having medicinal and edible qualities, others maintain that even small amounts can cause death. It might just take an act of God to save you should you consume it. Even skin contact with this plant can be problematic, causing dermatitis to those with sensitivities. Dove's dung is only one...
